There are numerous charities and events John has spearheaded. To name a few groups John is a part of, John is one of two representatives in our program for the SAAC program here at Siena. He has been our representative for the last three years. He has led the team to work with Ronald McDonald house for the past four years.

The guys got to play soccer and enjoy some great time together out on the pitch. John has also worked with the Center of Disabilities Telethon over the past four years, not only helping out with the phones but he is at the absolute center of our teams coordination to giving in a donation from our program.”
